Results analysis / POC method / down payment.

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I am configuring POC method of results analysis in which I need to used down payment received in POC RA results.

As per the OSS 448150 I have done following configuration.

In Customizing of results analysis, consider or maintain the following:

1) In the maintenance of the results analysis version, define a cost element for the reduction of

the revenue in excess of billings through down payments and a cost element for the down payment

surplus.

2)In the valuation method, set the 'Commitment' parameter to 'G'.

3) In the assignment, it is possible to use the variable/fixed indicator 'A' together with the cost

element to assign down payments to a line ID. ( I have created a separate line ID (DWP) for down payment)

4) In the update, the line ID that has the down payments is assigned to category 'F'. ( I hve assigned  DWP to category F)

5) In the posting rule, two results analysis categories, 'RRDP' and 'DNPS', are available for the

transfer into financial accounting.

My Question is which cost element I need to assign in OKG5 ( Define assignments for results analysis ) with line ID  DWP, because down payment is a balance sheet account.

Entry of down payment is -  Bank account Dr. and Cr. Custoer ( DP recon account ) and both are balance sheet.

Your early reply will be highly appreciated.

Regards,

Aniket

Hi Aniket,

i don't know whether your question has been answered .whatever,  there is configuration points needed.the path is cost->actual cost ->update down payment.

but i want ask another question maybe you have or will meet ,from sap explanation,there will be a reduction from exceeding billing ,but in my test ,it seems not available ,here just record the down-payment,no reduction ,no posting,maybe i missed sth. if you 're still interested ,maybe we can test together and share sth.
